WordPress Development

A couple of useful things for WordPress 3.0.1:

Patches for WordPress plugins (download them here)

Patch wp-category-meta_1.2.1_hiding-support.patch for WP Category Meta plugin (version 1.2.1) adds support for hiding category/taxonomy fields.

Patch facebook-fan-box_1.6_improved-css.patch for Facebook Fan box (version 1.6) improves customizable external CSS file support to work without Facebook API key and to have control over caching prevention random numbers.

Patch iframe-embedder_1.2_default-dimensions+new-auto-scroll+javascript-cleanup.patch for Iframe embedder (version 1.2) adds configurable default dimensions, adds new auto scrolling methods to disable this feature and to automatically resize height of the iframe, and corrected some boguos Javascript code.

Patch tantan-flickr_1.1.1_disable-404.patch for Flickr Photo Album (version 1.1.1) is a hack for fixing 404 page codes for photo galleries that get interpreted on some web servers and browsers (eg. Nginx with fastcgi_intercept_errors on;).

“After a couple an hour of searching for the correct solution I gave up. The 404 page codes problem lies in the fact that the (TanTan) Flickr Photo Album does not set up any Wordpress rewrites and therefore Wordpress interprets it as a normal page, which of course does not exist with that exact name and therefore it sets a 404 error code, but later on the plugin hijacks the output and does it’s thing. Then some web servers and browsers show their own error page if they see a 404 error code (eg. Nginx with fastcgi_intercept_errors on;).”
